Fantasy 1984 RHD Twin-Turbo DeLorean

[jawn101]

auryn has gone back to the netherlands again, to ed uding at delorean europe for more tuning of the twin-turbo engine.



keen-eyed viewers will note that i have upgraded the boring stock front wheels to hipsterluxe feo2-x steelies, 'pre-aged for realistic patina'.



sure to be an attention getter and the 2" reduction in width should increase driving excitement as well.

The old front wheels have been repurposed for this fine non-vehicle;



My current problem is that I need hubcentric spacers to get the offset necessary to fit them, but the spacers have an annoying flange cast into the outer side of the center hole lip that prevents the hub from going through (angle grinder time).

The wheels aren't the only DeLorean components on this trailer;



I don't have any spare tail light PCBs so I am half way through making my own out of plywood and point-to-point wiring.

Hey what car are those front rims from?
I am looking for a wheel to use as a spare, as mine came without one.
Thanx

They were on the chassis for the TARDIS trailer when I bought it, probably originally from a mid 90s caravan. They do not fit the DeLorean correctly though, the stud PCD and center bore is correct (4 x 100mm / 55mm) but the offset is wrong so the hub does not actually engage the wheel. They're ok for rolling around the workshop but not driving. Make sure you check /all/ relevant dimensions before buying wheels for the DeLorean

Trailer is coming along, trying to get it ready for the DMC UK club meeting next weekend, not sure if I will make it. AURYN is still at DMC Europe so this is the only DeLorean related thing I can bring (other than my DeLorean management tie ).

Had to enlarge the mudguards to take the DeLorean fronts;



Rear light towers : currently making them in wood, might get them remade in stainless later;

got the roof on (finally, after nearly breaking my leg on the step ladder);



two of the three walls are up (accidentally cracked a window pane on the third, waiting for a replacement);



and the flashy thing on the top is flashing on command;

The car looks so clean without the side trim. If it's staying that way I'd love to see matching stainless door handles.

Who doesn't love when boxes show up wrapped in DMC tape.

Where will the trailer hitch go?

Type 40 TT (TARDIS Trailer) commissioned and ready for service;



I would not say 'complete', as there are numerous things still to do (e.g. stainless light towers, aluminium treadplate on the outer floors), but it is road-legal and ready to go to events as soon as I have a working tow car.





Branding is very important of course;



As is security;





Lamp test;



Was hoping to take it to the Delorean Owners Club UK event this weekend, but a vital part required to fix my VehiCROSS was delayed, so I couldn't go. Hopefully it will turn up next week so I have something to pull the trailer with. Hope to go over to the Netherlands again to pick up AURYN next month.

Where will the trailer hitch go?

Bolted to the engine cradle, with the receiver in the center of the lower fascia area.

Is there any update on the car?

[Starglider]

AURYN has been at DeLorean Europe for final tuning for the last five months. Apparently the problem was that the KMS EFI controller had a manufacturing defect; it burned up four sets of coils before Ed traced the problem to the pulse shape coming from the EFI driver. I believe the unit has been replaced and the car properly tuned now. I hope to get over there to collect it soon.

Well, the car is finally home and I am slowly making progress on it. I am making up a rear wiring harness at the moment.



The engine, gearbox, brakes, steering and suspension are all working ok, except for the fact the handbrake is almost useless (needs adjusting). I still need to get all the lighting and accessories functional.
